Building & Grounds

Picture
Our beautiful campus is in the first phase of  building with more to come in the future. It includes the nave for worship, a cafe for coffee hours, forums, meetings and parish socials. Also, it has a cheerful nursery, Sunday school, library and spaces for the altar guild.

A temporary office provides space for the Rector, music room, office manager and bookkeeper.

The buildings are state-of-the-art with radiant heating, energy-efficient appliances, moveable partitions for multi-use, handicap accessibility, and ample parking.  Our campus is completely accessible and barrier free.  In 2024, 73 solar voltaic panels were installed on the roof and they provide 29.2 kilowatts to power the campus now and in the future.  This reduced our electric bills from $800 per month (2023) to $25per month after installation in June, 2024. 
 
Our Campus
 
Being a good steward of the environment was a key part of our design.
1. Our paved surfaces are of special material that allows water to percolate into the ground instead of running down the storm drain.
2. A water collection system that feeds into a 30,000 gallon underground storage tank. The water is then used throughout the dry season for our landscaping.
3. Drought tolerant/low water need landscaping throughout the 2.5 acre campus.


4. In 2024, 73 solar voltaic panels were installed on the roof and they provide a peak 29.2 kilowatts of power for the campus now and in the future. Actual power is somewhere below this number, depending upon a number of factors. This reduced our electric bills from around $800 per month (2023) to an average of $25per month after installation in June, 2024.  
5. Extensive use of natural lighting through the award winning architecture.
6. No garbage disposals in our commercial kitchen.
